powerpc/32: Fix vmap stack - Properly set r1 before activating MMU

We need r1 to be properly set before activating MMU, otherwise any new
exception taken while saving registers into the stack in exception
prologs will use the user stack, which is wrong and will even lockup
or crash when KUAP is selected.

Do that by switching the meaning of r11 and r1 until we have saved r1
to the stack: copy r1 into r11 and setup the new stack pointer in r1.
To avoid complicating and impacting all generic and specific prolog
code (and more), copy back r1 into r11 once r11 is save onto
the stack.

We could get rid of copying r1 back and forth at the cost of
rewriting everything to use r1 instead of r11 all the way when
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is set, but the effort is probably not worth it.
